ILLEGAL FISHING, POLLUTION AND RIVER BLOCKAGES

If you see any fishing, netting or trapping that is illegal, please don’t tackle it yourself. Also should you find a pollution or evidence of pollution, or find a significant blockage to a river structure such as a bridge, hatch or weir, take location (ideally a grid reference) and brief description of the problem. For all the above contact the Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60. Then additionally ask for feedback and give a number and/or chairman’s e-mail. This helps improve their response.
